There are plenty of down to earth restaurants here, where food is served on a banana leaf and eaten with your hands, and it’s not just the local Indian community that dine here, Singaporeans of all walks of life regularly visit Little India for a meal.

It’s fairly close to the centre of Singapore, a short taxi ride maybe, but also accessible by MRT, then you can wander among the 5 or so blocks and soak up the atmosphere, picking out a restaurant that you fancy. When you’re done, try some shopping for fabrics or bollywood movies, it’s all part of the experience. Of course the aroma of spices is par for the course!

Lion Cityscape

Plucky Singapore sits at the heart of Southeast Asia, an overachieving city state that punches well above its belt size as a tourist destination. There’s so much packed into this modern pleasant city, the beaches and resorts of Sentosa Island, the history and culture of the Colonial district, timeless character in Chinatown, fabulous shopping in Orchard Road and a host of fun family activities.

Find out all the hidden charms and well kept secrets on this blog. We’ve been travelling Southeast Asia for ages, and plan to develop this site into a full blown guide to Singapore soon. You can look forward to a resource with hundreds of pages of tourist info, complete with pictures and video.

From the beauty of the Botanical gardens to the lively restaurants and bars of Clarke Quay, to the fascination of the Night Safari and Jurong Bird Park or the the pungent aromas in Little India, this site has it all. Airport facilities, accommodation, business travel, shopping, walking tours and more, find it all here.
